Dusty Strings Ravenna 26
A small harp with great possibilities.
For the discriminating and budget-minded beginner, traveler, teacher, or student, the 26-string Ravenna fills many needs with its affordability, reliability, portability, and most importantly its rich and satisfying sound. Its innovative design and construction techniques (patent pending) allow us to incorporate more features than are usually found in harps in this price range. Dusty Strings’s characteristic bright, full sound; tuning stability; even tension across the strings; and meticulous craftsmanship make the Ravenna 26 a great value.
Features of the Ravenna 26:
- The Ravenna 26 has 26 strings, 3 ½ octaves, reaching from the C below the middle C to G.
- The stave-back sound box gives you great playing comfort
